The CGIAR micronutrients project: justification, history, objectives, and summary of findings by Bouis, Howarth E., Graham, Robin D., Welch, Ross M.

“…However, they caution that this approach will be successful only if farmers are willing to adopt such varieties, if the edible parts of these varieties are palatable and acceptable to consumers, and if the incorporated micronutrients can be absorbed by the human body. In examining the feasibility of a plant breeding strategy, five core questions were posed: 1) Is it scientifically feasible to breed for staple food varieties whose seeds are micronutrient-dense? …”
